I was getting all sentimental until I got to the end!
Then I LOL and agree with him.

Me thinks that Randall is pissed with youtube over the real name thing, that's the second time in a week or two he's mentioned the real name thing.

This got me all sentimental too, I just had to share it with my Compuserve friends (yes we still talk every day).
just FYI, a group of us got so involved in chatting on the Netware live-chat forum on Compuserve that NW made a forum just for us!

Hi All,
With some late night hacking and a little sleep (too little!) I have one the darned things working (I think!) and have a closer handle on what is broken with the other (Yayyy me!). I now accept it was a case of blaming the tools unfairly as I realised yesterday. Sorry VB the problem is your programmer are made up of many different types  and will build with some bugs and then offer a way of shutting them up with nasty fixes.

That said, VB is to Code as Paris is to Fame.

Well it kind of is VB's fault, it's deliberately pitched as 'easy' and therefore attracts rubbish and inexperienced developers. Any production system in VB is likely to be crap.

What I can't get over is how easy it is to write Cr@p that compiles!!!

The problem I have with VB is that it is a old languages, designed fro non-programmers, that has been elephanted about with so many times to fit a modern paradigm (and it shows) that what you end up with has too much legacy stuff: weak typing, ON ERROR RESUME NEXT and so forth.
What this end up with is a modern language that is pretty good (if too verbose and imprecise sometimes) that encourages poor programmers to code badly, and rewards that by working. Until...
C# and so forth discourage that - I'm not saying you can't write good code in VB (you can) or bad code in C# (oh yes, you certainly can) but it's a lot easier to think you are a coding god and write cr@p in VB than it is in C#...

I must have been really bad in a previous life to have sort this out...

I think you're pretty bad in this one as well.

Java programmers...

How very dare you! 
As a mater of fact, I prefer Java to C# despite being proficient in both. When I fathom out why, I'll let you all know.
